Quotes:

[first lines] Albert Markovski:Motherfucking cocksucker motherfucking shit fucker what am I doing? What am I doing? I don't know what I'm doing. I'm doing the best that I can. I know that's all I can ask of myself. Is that good enough? Is my work doing any good? Is anybody paying attention? Is it hopeless to try and change things? The African guy is a sign, right? Because if he isn't, than nothing in this world makes any sense to me. I'm fucked! Maybe I should quit. Don't quit! Maybe I should just fucking quit. Don't fucking quit! I don't know what the fuck I'm supposed to fucking do anymore! Fucker! Fuck shit!See more »

It isn't often that a movie provokes thought as well as laughter, but
"I Heart Huckabees" manages to hit both marks.

This movie is about the search for answers to questions that most of
the characters don't seem to know they're asking. And their guides
along the way, deftly portrayed by Hoffman, Tomlin and Huppert stir the
pot of confusion in this boiling mess of angst, deception and
discontent. And it's funny! While the performances by Schwartzman, Law
and Wahlberg (sounds like a law firm) were wonderful and engaging, the
real star of this movie is the writing. It's very thoughtful without
being heavy-handed. And the humor manages to take material that usually
comes across as pretentious and makes it palatable for common-folk like
myself.

This is a great movie if you're in the mood to revive in your mind the
ultimate questions "who are we?", "what are we?", "why are we?" At the
age of 41 I'd pretty much put those questions to bed, but it was fun to
wake that sleeping part of myself and ponder while having a lot of
laughs along the way.
